Is it possible to navigate to pivot control page by a button clicked event

Question

I'm trying to create a wp7 pivot control application. On click of a button in the first page, I would like to navigate to another page which is already a pivot page. Is it possible ?

Answer 1

If you have for example following definition for the Pivot control:

 <controls:Pivot x:Name="SettingsPivot" Title="settings">
   <controls:PivotItem x:Name="GeneralSettings" Header="general settings">
     <!-- Pivot Item content -->
   </controls:PivotItem>
   <controls:PivotItem x:Name="ConnectivitySettings" Header="connectivity settings">
     <!-- Pivot Item content -->
   </controls:PivotItem>
   <controls:PivotItem x:Name="OtherSettings" Header="other settings">
     <!-- Pivot Item content -->
   </controls:PivotItem>
 </controls:Pivot>

Then you can go to for example OtherSettings using this code in the button click event handler:

SettingsPivot.SelectedItem = OtherSettings;

Answer 2

do it like this

NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/Pages/Page.xaml?PivotMain.SelectedIndex = 0", UriKind.Relative));

SelectedIndex can be whatever depending how many pivot items you have

Answer 3

Here is how you can navigate to another page, it does not matter if it is a pivot page or not:

NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/SettingsPivot.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

If you are trying to navigate to another pivotitem then you will need to do the following

int i=1; //This is the index of the pivotitem you would like to navigate to

PivotMenuName.SelectedIndex = i;
